Alright before anyone screams "YOU SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT A CORE 2 DUO, THE PERFORMANCE IS THE UBER-WOOTEST FASTEST THING SINCE PEANUT BUTTER SMACKED JELLY" I know. I bought AM2 anyway. I have a DFI LANPARTY UT NF590 SLI-M2R/G Motherboard, a X2 3800, and 2 8800 GTS 320's. I have a Enermax 650 watt PSU that is about 4 years old and is so far from ATX 2.0 it's closer to AT. my question is can i use this dilapidated PSU with it's 20 pin PS instead of the 24 pin? Also i know i can use the 4 pin in the 8 pin, but is there a pinout of the PSU connectors anywhere. I looked....I failed at the Internet.... Any help would be greatly Appericiated. Here are the Exact system specs, Yes AMD AM2... I already made the switch to nVidia, i can't do both....

AMD Athlon X2 3800 AM2

I would be suspect expecially running 2 newer cards in SLi.
If it doesn't work out for you, I happen to have a 24-pin Enermax (660w I believe, but it is in the review section somewhere) that is simply gathering dust.
I would be willing to let it go if you need it.

Edit: Sorry Charlie (heh heh, you are a tuna), I just realised that this Enermax I have only has 2 SATA power connectors and would not work for your application.

Can't you just get an Sata power connector adapter?

yea, SATA power connectors i have in bulk supply. SHOOT me message in MSN messenger. I'll take that PSU if you dont need it

damn i was going to suggest the silverstone 750, which can be had for aroun 170-190$ and then i read the review

+12V@62A that better than the silverstone

definately a keeper for those newer cards.

can't wait to see some benchmarks after the setup is done

yea, still waiting on the memory , processor, and other video card (man they are heavy!) it is supposed to be here tomarrow. See if fedex delivers....
then in typical Chrome_Rust style, clock it til she smokes, back her down half a turn...
